Abstract

Currently, there are practiced various pyrometallurgical, hydrometallurgical, and com-bined pyro and hydrometallurgical methods for processing of oxidized nickel ores to produce metal-lic nickel, cobalt, and their compounds in non-ferrous metallurgy. The problem is the difficult ore concentration, and consequently the high consumption of reagents or low extraction of valuable components from it. Ural plants previously implemented the technology of reducing-sulphiding smelting of laterite ore to produce fire nickel and transfer of cobalt to matte. The economic ineffi-ciency of this technology predetermined the search for a new method for processing of significant reserves of oxidized nickel ores in the Ural region.
